risen to die

I think the tragedy with most of Iyers is about probing the lifestyles of its immediate family members which may not be relevant to the occassion they are gathering for. Its true that we can't force the people to think above the demarcated lines, which every one is used to now. The same curd rice have begun to change into dalmakhni-roti for the migrated iyers. Spurtly adding to that; the drift in the generation gap has emerged to an extent which can break a well knitted family, the broadning of gap becomes more wider than thought elseworth. Some times its spoils the relation ship and further adding to that, the lack of involvement and predictability are two factors that kill any relationship. Sometimes its the dual between a father and son, erst its between the mother and the daughter. Recently I have seen many iyers, who despite living in the nuclear family feels the lack of space unto each other; thus by forcing the relationship to strain.

Iyers predictably famous for settled well off at USA, have now started to make their presence within the Indian Market in various other fields. Sometimes I feel that this is also one of the reasons why the relationship are becoming too much pain for everyone. Particularly for those who are in BPO/ITES segment, with unstable workshifts; the quality time spent with the family reduces to a margin below null. Further to add to that; the demanding aspirations of parents adds more fuel to this relationship, which sometimes make the next generation feel uncomfortable towards the older generation.

Further most of next generation believe in hip-hop culture due to their working environment and the needs of relaxation being fulfilled by these so called hip-hop culture, makes them vulnerable; towards the lethargic attitude of older generations; which predictbly makes them the uncomfortable towards the so called attitude of next gen.

It requires some quality time between the old gen and next gen to sit together and have a platform built by trust and identifying the space for each others privacy, so as to avoid the death of nuclear family into electrons family. Till then, the gen gap would "rise to die" in an uneventful manner
